I gave Andromeda a chance, thinking that the facial animation debacle was just an overreaction. Now I see why people are upset. Holy shit, the facial animations just look so Fallout 4-tier that it's not even funny.

Otherwise the game is pretty good so far.

It's very obvious the team that made DAI didn't make this. There's no way. Though if rumors are to be believed it looks like they're working conditions were awful. On top of that we already know quite a few people left.

I only played the multiplayer trial and didn't notice anything off with animations. They actually look pretty fluid and the different races handle exactly as you'd expect.

Is it only in cutscenes?

It's mainly facial animations.

I fucking HATE the cover system in this game. It's one of my major complaints so far.

Peebee romance with a female ryder shows that Bioware has no clue on how lesbian sex works.

so you trust people who score things with 10s and zeros and maybe 5 words to back it up if you're lucky

metacritic is shit, but don't act like the user score is any better than the critic score

I don't trust those reviews but I find user reviews that actually have substance are more sincere than whatever the critic shits out.

In cases like this game, no, I wouldn't either. A lot of people like to jump on a hate bandwagon simply for the sake of doing it. What would probably be a legit 7, would be dropped to a 4 or 3 because people are focusing on one subject and one subject only to hate on, and it gains traction.

That's not to say it's suddenly not an issue, but we can't it here and pretend people don't like to ride those trains as well.

That explains it. Though I didn't know Edmonton wasn't the main developer of DAI. DAI is better than this game in every way besides gameplay and graphics. Even certain aspects of the graphics are better. Faces, animations, no frame drops. DAI has better writing overall. By far. Though the quests in MEA are less MMO-ish like DAI had.

That explains it. So I get being given the chance to make a game, and you're new, you wanna make it great. But at least be realistic. This was a new team. And it is now painfully obvious they were too ambitious when beginning work on the game and halfway through, they were like "oh fuck" and went into panic mode. And it resulted in this game. Not to mention all the people that left the team in the middle of development.
